Kickin' It – The Way We Are
Kim's P.O.V.
Chapter 1-
At the last bell I began packing back my textbooks, getting ready for spring
break, then headed to Jack's locker to wait for him so we could walk over to
the dojo together, as we do every day. Nothing new. I only waited a minute
for him to pack away his books till he said " Alright let's go " he said,
smiling more than usual which gave away whatever he was trying so hard to
hide. " What's the big news? "I asked "What do you mean? "He said,
walking faster which made me have to jog just to keep up. " Come on. You
haven't been this excited since Arthur got kicked out of our dojo" I said
recalling the memory, I was so happy I start to think of that day almost as
my birthday. But no one was happier than Jack, if we gave him enough time
he would have started flipping off walls. As with that thought he laughed out
loud, remembering too. "Why are you rushing to the dojo anyway?"
"Because I have a surprise for everybody" he said smiling his famous
crooked smiled, even his eyes seemed to be smiling with him. And with that
he walked into the dojo. I for one am not a fan of Jack's surprises. The last I
got one of his "surprises" I walked home drenched in water and mud in my
hair and shoes. But he was my best friend so how can I stay mad at him?
Curiosity got the best of me and I walked into the dojo for the surprise. "I
got something big to tell you guys" he started off. Just then Rudy came out
drinking out of a bottle of syrup, took one long drink before asking "What is
it?" Jack was getting something from his book bag so he didn't see what
Rudy was doing, but he continued "You know how my grandfather taught
Bobby Wasabi right?" Yeah" we all said "so he gave him 7 tickets inviting
my grandfather and all of us to the set of his new movie in Brazil" he then
pulled out the 6 tickets and became aware of what Rudy was doing he sighed
"Why? …." This kind of stuff was always happening, if it wasn't Rudy, it
was Jerry. "Well I woke up really late this morning and didn't get my coffee,
and I really count on the caffeine to keep me going through the day. So I
decided to just drink syrup. The syrup is the same as the caffeine" Rudy
explained. "Rudy, if you drink all of that you're just going to have sugar
rush and crash after that" Milton said "Not true" said Rudy, who was already
jittery. "Oh it's true" said Jerry "it happened to me in the woods once"
"What were you doing in the woods?" Jack said with a confused face
"Looking for my mom" he said it like it was the most normal thing to go
looking for your mom in the woods. With syrup. We were all quiet and
Rudy was shaking his head. I whispered to Jack "You should really stop
asking him questions" "I never learn do I" then he spoke up "Anyway here
are your tickets" he said passing them out. The plane tickets were booked for
Sunday at 9:00pm and we were gonna arrive in Brazil on Monday at 7:00
pm. This turned out to be a terrible thing for me because it just so happens
that I'm afraid of planes. "I don't know Jack, what's my mom gonna say?" I
said, not telling him, or any of the guys about my fear. "Yeah, me too" Eddie
said agreeing, but Jack was smiling "Taking care of. My mom already talked
to all you guys mom's and they're all okay with the idea. So you guys in?"
"Yeah, I guess so" I said with a bit of a smile and with that Jack put his arm
playfully around my shoulder. "Definitely, Brazilian girls are HOT!" said
Jerry. "Yeah Bro, why you think I'm so excited" Jack said laughing and
taking his arm of me so he and Jerry could do their "oh so famous"
(according to Jerry) handshake. "Of course I'm in, they got great food down
there" said Eddie I just laughed. Typical Eddie. "I-I don't know guys, I get
air-sick" Milton said. I know exactly how you feel I thought. "Come on,"
said Jack "it'll be worth it" "Yeah, this is probably like a onetime chance to
see Bobby Wasabi" I said to Milton to make him feel better and also to
myself. I knew it was a lie since we saw bobby Wasabi all the time, but that
doesn't matter right now. "Yeah Kim I guess your right". We then all looked
to Rudy for his answer, but he was passed out on the mat. Jack nudged him a
bit "Rudy?" his response was "Muurrmpmurr" Jack then looked up at the
rest of us. "Taking that as a yes"
